Polygon Rendering with Adaptive Bit Resolution

概要

論文の詳細を見る
Polygon rendering is among the most computational and memory intensive part of computer graphics, and dedicated graphics accelerators are often applied to obtain the required performance. As programmable processors such as DSPs are getting more powerful, including high memory band-width, new potential application areas such as memory intensive polygon rendering are emerging. Obviously programmable architectures offer more flexibility than dedicated hardware, thus the rendering algorithms should be enhanced to exploit these capabilities. An adaptive rendering algorithm, presented in this paper applies the fact that a large percentage of triangles in computer graphics scenes are small. For small coordinate and color spans, low bit resolution provides sufficient precision, allowing implementation on fixed-point architectures with small word size.
